HIGH.ONLY ABOUT 1/2 OF THE BEES LANDED ON THE BRANCH,THE OTHER 1/2 WENT BACK IN THE HIVE.I THOUGHT THAT ALL THE FLYING BEES WILL LEAVE WITH THE QUEEN BUT I SEE THATS NOT TRUE.THIS IS 1 OF 2 HIVES I HAVE FOR MY TUPELO HONEY.WELL IT WAS a LOST AS FOR AS MAKING TUPELO HONEY WITH THIS HIVE BUT I WILL GO IN MY OTHER HIVE TOMORROW AN MAKE SURE THEY DONT HAVE QUEEN CELLS IN IT.I GUESS I MISSED THE QUEEN CELL ON THAT HIVE.ITS NOT a TOTAL LOST, I DID GET THE SWARM AND IT WAS a LARGE ONE 7 1/2 LBS. ...SCHAWEE....
Only the workers swarm with the queen and about half leave with her.

38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
